IPOB raises alarm over Jihad in South-East

www.odogwublog.com reports that Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) yesterday said the
Northern Oligarchy has discreetly and silently started perfecting its Jihad
agenda in South-East.

IPOB said the plans are being hatched with silent
extermination of Ndigbo under the pretext of military exercise in peaceful
civilian environment, describing it as act of primitive criminal intimidation and
provocation by Fulani Islamic fundamentalists.

The statement by IPOB signed by Comrade Emma Powerful ,
Media and Publicity Secretary for IPOB states thus: ‘’We the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) and it's leadership worldwide, under the command and
leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the prophet of our time, the Director of Biafra
Radio and Biafra Television, wish to alert humanity about the wickedly
undemocratic silent Jihadi war unleashed on peaceful Biafran populations, in
order to complete the extermination of the Igbo race under the pretext of
military exercise in a peaceful civilian environment. This act of primitive
criminal intimidation and provocation by Fulani Islamic fundamentalists in the
Buhari regime, must not go unchallenged by men and women of good conscience.

‘’Major General Muhammadu Buhari was supposedly elected to
preside over a transparent civilian democratic government. However, what we
have today is an administration of Fulani ethnic jingoists and unprecedented
levels of religious bigotry never before witnessed in Nigeria. This Buhari
administration is the very worst kind of elected dictatorship. This latest
attempt to use military show of force in Biafraland to deal with legitimate
peaceful agitation for self determination vindicates IPOB position that Nigeria
is irredeemably primitive and incapable of human development.

‘’Where on earth is it heard that combat ready troops are
deployed within the borders of a country to deal with a non-violent civil
matter; only in Nigeria. It makes a mockery of the role of the military and a
nonsense of the constitution that soldiers can be ordered by one army officer,
without the permission of the Senate, to kill civilian populations in an area
devoid of any conflict. This is one of the many reasons why we IPOB cannot
share the same geo-political space with people that can hardly reason like
humans.

‘’These clueless and uninformed members of APC Party in Aso
Rock under the supervision of Major General Muhammadu Buhari have once again
proven their undemocratic and savage nature. For Fulani Caliphate to think they
can intimidate Biafrans the same way they intimidated and conquered Hausa
people along with other indigenous ethnic minorities of the North, proves they
are not good students of history. Previous Fulani Jihadi campaigns to conquer
and subjugate Biafraland have always ended in failure, that is why Biafra has
remained till date untainted by virulent Jihadi Islam unlike other coastal
regions of West Africa.

‘’Major General Muhammadu Buhari and his core Arewa North
are misguided into thinking this present generation can be subdued with threats
of war as they did to our fathers. Arewa North falsely boast that they won the
1967-70 War. But as serving officers, which some of them were during that time,
they knew fully well that Biafra was defeated by Britain and her fellow
conspirators not Nigeria. History is replete with events and instances where
British support for Nigeria, especially regarding the secret sale of weapons to
Gowon, proved decisive inending the war
in favour of Nigeria.

‘’The fact remains that Nigeria as a country has never won
any war on its own, they always need outside help to succeed. The limited gains
made against Boko Haram in 2015 was as a result of the coalition put together
by President Jonathan, comprising of troops from Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
Nigeria cannot point to any theatre of war comprising exclusively of Nigerian
troops with exception of the Congo expedition led by Gen. JT Aguiyi-Ironsi,
where they recorded any victory against an armed opposition. Cameroon took
Bakassi Peninsula from Nigeria after series of skirmishes between them that
ended in defeat for Nigeria both on the battle field and in court.

‘’Nigerian Army are only strong when it comes to killing
unarmed peaceful civilians. In battlefield against a formidable adversary, they
are cowards. Whenever they come into contact with any battle ready formation
they crumble and flee. We IPOB advice Buratai notto march his Islamic army into Biafraland
under the cover of Operation Python Dance because IPOB is agitating for self
determination in a peaceful manner. We have no arms and will never resort to
bearing arms. Buhari and Buratai should rather focus their attention on the Boko
Haram ravaged areas of Bornu, Yobe, and Adamawa. Boko Haram is a well armed
army, they are the ones Buratai should be facing not market women in Aba and
traders at Onitsha. We are peaceful people by nature but will not tolerate any
molestation or intimidation on our soil.

‘’The few crazy people cheering Buratai on with this ill
advised military exercise were the same people that called for the execution of
Mohammed Yusuf, the peaceful Boko Haram leader. His death gave Nigerians
Abubakar Shekau and the deadly insurgency ravaging the North today. Successive
Nigerian governments are good at creating problems out of nothing. Had the
Nigerian Government not executed Mohammed Yusuf in cold blood, there wouldn't
have been any Boko Haram as we know it today.

‘’Had Ken Saro Wiwa not been executed by the Nigerian state,
there would be no militancy in the Niger Delta. Those Hausa Fulani people
benefiting from defence contracts and wanting to expand the frontiers of Islam
into Biafraland must know that any conflict they ignite will consume them
because Britain will no longer support them openly should they provoke another
bloody conflict in Biafra. We advice Buratai to take back his armoured tanks to
the war front in the North where it's needed as we are not fighting any war in
the East.

IPOB statement concluded: ‘’ We ask every Biafran to remain
calm and continue to be law abiding in our peaceful agitation to restore
Biafra. Let nobody entertain any fear because the world knows we are IPOB and
as such, we are without fear before our enemies. IPOB Family under the command
and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are in the mighty hands of the Lord the Most
High Creator of Heaven and Earth’’.
